year end 2009

Sometimes in life, I have done things I know were wrong, but I
have done them anyway...And sometimes a little voice
tells me...you are useless...you are bad...doing these stupid
things....

But I FINALLY REALIZED-- although I'm a sinner, the GOD of the universe loves me. And even when I do screw up, I'm not a horrible person--I'm forgiven.

2007-2008 were difficult years in my life, but as I have walked through 2009, I have felt
CHALLENGED
PUSHED
LIFTED
LOVED
by the Lord our GOD like never before.

As God has
transformed me
broken me
molded me

In this last year, I have felt His nearness and watch-care like never before.

I am learning more and more what it means when I boldly proclaim, "I will go where HE wants me to GO."

This year God has lead me to:
B.C., Canada
Hawaii, USA
South Africa
Ontario, Canada

In 2010, I plan on staying in South Africa until April with YWAM/Voice for the Voiceless, continuing to seek HIS justice, and serve the community of Capricorn.

I have started to pray about what's next for me and ask God where I
should go in the summer and fall.

My heart is to see our generation rise up with strength and passion, to challenge them to step out in faith, to see them live with Hope as they embrace the love of our God.

And now an opportunity has come up for me to staff at the Circle Square Ranch
Arden, Ontario, (a summer youth camp) so please pray along side me as
I make this commitment.

I am also applying to staff a YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS) in September 2010 called "Community Transformation" which is based out of Kona, Hawaii--the place where I came to know Jesus more and more this past spring.

This is my pursuit of a Christ-life existence.

This is my real life.

As the new year starts, I would like to ask for prayer for
MORE--
vision
wisdom
finances
and discernment;
that I would be a faithful servant,
a bold leader--
and a man of integrity.

Thank you for all that you've given me in finances and encouragement--I could not be here today without you!

peace, LOVE and cut-off shorts,

Jonathan James Grime
